Make me a name combo....

38 replies

ruralmother · 14/01/2018 19:36

Please help me name a potential sister for Ottilie. Surname is Gattor so no first names that use nn 'Ally' and no initials that spell anything awful (HAG/FAG etc). I'd for certain use Allegra as first name if our surname was different.

I like old names which are less commonly used, nice meanings a bonus.

Current long list is (no particular order).....Claudia, Alice, Polly, Clara, Celestia, Arabella, Beatrix, Cecily, Tabitha, Flora, Delilah, Genevieve, Emmeline, Margot, Gloria, Millicent, Heidi, Leila, Allegra, Theodora (teddy), Felicity (Felix).

Looking for first name and middle name combos please!

bloody hell I actually thought of the initials too. My innocent brain though of vag rhymes with bag. rather than badge.
So yes. Yes I did suggest Vag.
This is what happens after 10 years of watch cbeebies!

Claudia Alice is lovely. As is Romilly Alice. Both fit well against your DD's name.

RidingWindhorses · 14/01/2018 22:44

Love Romilly. I know one and her nickname is Romi.

Romilly Alice
Cecily Allegra
Claudia Alice
Nancy Allegra

Like all these except Claudia.

Otillie with Romilly, Cecily or Nancy all sound lovely. And sound good with your surname.

LexieLulu · 14/01/2018 22:38

My daughter Alice has been nn Ali by her nan (which I'm against as I don't want her name shortening) so thought I'd give you heads up as Alice is on your list xx

calzone · 14/01/2018 22:35

Ooh I love your choice of names......

Adding Oriele and Eliza into the mix....

haha, I didn't think NAG was too bad. Husband joked it was as close as I'd get to a horse for my push present....

I love Romillly Alice. If not Molly might get Romy as nn which is nice too.

Nancy Allegra Gattor... NAG. I would avoid that one!

Nancy Allegra

Neither nor either.

TatianaLarina · 14/01/2018 22:23

I know a Romilly and an Ottlie - either are called Milly or Tilly.

TatianaLarina · 14/01/2018 22:22

Was going to suggest Romilly. Goes very well with Ottilie and Gattor.

Romilly Alice
Romilly Kate
Romilly Iris

Emily, Anaïs, Clemmency middle names Violet or Nancy.

I like Aurelie and Aurelia but it’s going a bit towards Aligator...

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/01/2018 22:18

Emmeline Heidi
Flora Millicent
Celestia Blossom

A very good point hopeful, I think that rules out Romilly too!

I would avoid using it if I were you though or you're at risk of having a tilly and a millie as nn.

Hi hopeful, I met a lovely one once (must be aged 18/19 now), she must have made a good impression!

Some others to throw into the mix

Tamara
Celia
Hester
Cressida
Blythe

HopelesslyHopeful87 · 14/01/2018 21:13

I love that you have Millicent on your list. My DD is a Millicent and I have not met another and every single professional/HCP we have come across has never heard of one before. Makes me proud.

VAG might be one to avoid....

OP posts:
VinnyTheVagina · 14/01/2018 21:03

I saw VAG too!!

RavenWings · 14/01/2018 21:00

I'd suggest: Electra, Amity, Maren, Damaris, Angelica, Annika, Carmen, Paloma, Zinnia.

I really don't like Romilly, Blossom, Polly, Tabitha, Cecily, Theodora and Flora. Genevieve, Felicity, Alice, Arabella, Millicent and Leila are reasonably commonly used ime, which I notice you didn't particularly want.

Verity Allegra Gattor

Sorry Pananny , did you actually just suggest giving the child the initials VAG? Grin Confused Grin

MrsTiggyWinkle3 · 14/01/2018 20:51

Not sure about first and middle name combinations but my favourites from your list are: Clara, Beatrix, Delilah, Margot, Heidi and Theodora

Not bad Mr Dilkington, I quite like it too, but after long and careful thought it's a no.
